Meet Luz Marina Umaña

Luz Marina Umaña from Briceño, Boyaca, Colombia

We aim to connect you with each artisan, their culture, their traditions, their family and their dreams! 

Luz Marina is expert working with fique and crochet. She gives to our products the special colour combinations and a beautiful aesthetic sections. 
Fique is derived from the native agave cactus This unique material is completely sustainable as the base of the plant lives for over 20 years and is left untouched in order to avoid deforestation. Using a craft dating back a thousand years to the Guane tribes, the fibres are combed, dyed with naturally extracted colours and then weaved into a coarse cloth, before the rugs are handwoven on a traditional loom.
From the agave selection to the finished product, each rug creates one day worth of work for their business. Your purchase provides financial security to these families, helps to preserve this ancestral technique for passing on to the next generation, and is environmentally friendly.
Product: Lamp shades, bags
  
Material: Fique fibres pulled from agave type cactuses, vegetable dyes
